Vampire Academy Book 1 by Richelle Meade

Illustration of the accident before the series:

Excerpt from Chapter 1:

I felt her fear before I heard her screams.

Her nightmare pulsed into me, shaking me out of my own dream, which had something to do with a beach and some hot guy rubbing suntan oil on me. Images -- hers, not mine -- tumbled through my mind: fire and blood, the smell of smoke, the twisted metal of a car. The pictures wrapped around me, suffocating me, until some rational part of my brain reminded me that this wasn't my dream.

Excerpt from Chapter 22:

"Not that hurt?" he laughed. "I'm not talking about her ankle, which was still impressive. I'm talking about the car accident. Because you're right, you know. Rose didn't get 'that hurt.' She died."

He let the words sink in.

"That's... no. She lived," Lissa finally managed.

"No. Well, yes, she did. But I read the reports. There was no way she should have survived - especially with so many injuries. You healed her. You brought her back."

"Sydney—what’s going to make you feel better about creatures of the night? Easy escape on the first floor or distance on the second?”

Iconic line:

“It’s not about you, okay? This time, it’s about me. Not you. All my life, Lissa… all my life, it’s been the same. ‘They come first.’ I’ve lived my life for you. I’ve trained to be your shadow, but you know what? I want to come first. I need to take care of myself for once. I’m tired of looking out for everyone else and having to put aside what I want.”

It doesn't matter how many times I read the last few chapters of Shadow Kiss it still gets me every time

"I wasn't in the mood to watch them flirt with him—especially since, according to their courtship rules, I would apparently have to be the one to battle it out with any prospective fiancée."

I got my dad to listen to Vampire Academy and he messaged me when he got to the part where Rose is shot and thought she was going to die

[thisismylovelettertoyou]

This wanting, this yearning suffocates me, held tightly in its grasp I am helpless. But if it reunites me with him in the end, I will gladly endure it.
